The Big Lie is not that Donald Trump had the election stolen from him; The Big Lie is the saints can have indifferent sex.
Furthermore, we can abuse our freedom in Christ without consequence.
The Hermenia Commentary points out First Corinthians chapters 6-10 deal with misusing our freedom, which includes eating meat offered to idols and sexual immorality (porneia).
Food for the body and the body for food.
I can separate myself from the food I eat.
I cannot separate sexual actions from my heart.
Freedom cannot cancel itself by making me unfree.
10 10 The passive of ἐξουσάζειν, “dominate,” appears to be a pointed ad hoc construction on Paul’s part.

Freedom should not cancel itself out and lead to bondage.
Drinking is lawful, but I will be an alcoholic.
Sex is lawful, but I will be living in lust.
My freedom does not derive from things.
It has its place, namely, the church1
12 12 That is, by “practice,” in the sense of “independent action.”

109–110).

Freedom is not my identity; it is my right through Jesus Christ.
He set me free by enlightening me to the truth.
Should I use my insight to convince myself sin is tolerated?
I am not only free if I am free as Christ is free.
I am not only free if my freedom is for his glory!
My freedom does not derive from my faith; it derives from my relationship with Jesus Christ.
I lose the freedom if I set outside of life in him.
Sex can never be a matter of indifference.
This is the Big Lie.
You are not neutral when you lay down with a prostitute.
You can never have a sexual relationship without committing yourself to the person- becoming one with the prostitute.
You become one with whomever you have sex with outside of God’s covenant.
Having sex outside of God’s will dehumanizes both parties.
It is to treat sex like food which is discarded.
Sexual immorality is deliberate separation from the body of Christ.
If the members of my body are given over to sexual immorality, individual, then I have cut myself off from the rest of the body of Christ, collective.
Since the body will be raised, it must not be treated if it is only dust.
Food is for the body, to be returned to the ground by digestion; God is for the body, to be returned to the One who made it who is in heaven.
I see how man shall not live by bread alone.
The body and soul are for the Lord whether I like it or not.
